Give the key lime a whirl. I was turned onto it a few years ago and never went back.

Light, refreshing and brightens up the heavy, rich sloppiness of Thanksgiving food.

Theory is it will cook more evenly - you don't have to overcook the thighs to get the breast done.

I know people that swear by it but haven't done it. Some guys I know swear by it. I've never had trouble with the thighs gettting too hot.

That’s exactly the reason why, but I wasn’t certain how valid a reason it was. I will say that it does make carving it pretty easy as well, and takes virtually no time to do it, so I’d do it again in all likelihood
